Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC405 die is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction
Bipolar Transistor (HBT) Gain Block MMIC DC to
10 GHz amplifier. This amplifier can be used as either
a cascadable 50 Ohm gain stage or to drive the
LO of HMC mixers with up to +17 dBm output power.
The HMC405 offers 16 dB of gain and an output
IP3 of +32 dBm while requiring only 50 mA from a
+5V supply. The Darlington feedback pair used results
in reduced sensitivity to normal process variations
and yields excellent gain stability over temperature
while requiring a minimal number of external bias
components. The HMC405 can easily be integrated
into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs) due to its small
(0.22mm
2
) size. All data is with the chip in a 50 Ohm
test fixture connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter
wire bonds of minimal length 0.5mm (20 mils).
